STILL AT SEA.-Harry Griffin and Fred.
Bsim, who were recently arrested by Chief
Dillman and Deputy Sheriff Drew in con-
nection with the Klumpf murder, have
been able to show their innocence. Griffin
was at the residence of Mr.. Deming. where
he has latterly been employed, at the time
of the homicide, and the bullet
taken from the body of the de-
ceased does not fit the pistol found
in Griffin's room. Balm has also proved
an alibi and been discharged. Griffin, how
ever, will be detained in custody on charge
Of grand larceny, IN stealing property from
the residence of Mrs. Mesick On this he
has expressed his willingness to plead
guilty when taken before the Superior
Court. The gold watch found in his pos
session has proved to be one which he
owned last August, but which he tempo
rarily disposed of, getting it back but a
short time ago. The police are still at sea
relative to the Klumpf murder.
STOLEN CHAIN REcovERED.-Some time
since it was reported that Jesse Slaughter,
Jr., had, at the muzzle of pistol, robbed
Mrs Martin Burns of a gold watch and
chain, and also gold chain belonging to
her husband. Slaughter denied having
taken the property, and Chief Dillman, on
investigating the facts, found that he had
been unjustly accused, as the thief was a
white man, an intimate acquaintance of
the Burns family, and no pistol was used.
On Saturday the Chief recovered Mrs
Burns chain from a resident of Brighton,
to whom it had been disposed of. The
thief, though known to the officers, has
been moving around to various places, and
the Chief has been unable to have him ap-
pretended. He had Mrs. Burns watch and
chain in his possession when he left Sac
ramento.
DERBY ESTRIEs.-Twenty-o entries to
the Pacific Coast Field Trial Clubs Derby
Thursday night, and the number is apt to
reach about thirty, as six more are assured,
and there will probably be one or two addi-
tional, as the entries did not close until yes
terday. Seven of the twenty-one are from
Sacramento and one from Folsom. To our
dog fancying readers it need not be said
that the entry list is a good one, but for the
information of those not in the fancy ii
NAV be intimAted that in breeding the
Youngsters are equal to those of any club,
while in number they establish the fact
that the sporting-dog owners of California
appreciate field trials and sustain them
Loyalty.
A SAD CASE OF INSANITY Since it has
transpired that Hoess, who was arrested
for the murder of J. F. Klumpf, has proved
to be an innocent party, many who SC
accused him feel sorry indeed for the shame
and disgrace it brought upon him and his
family, and which it is feared has driven
his wife hopelessly insane. Mrs. Hoess
whose name was handled very severely al
the time, because some years ago she was
an intimate friend of the deceased, has had
her reason entirely dethroned, and it is
thought she will have to be taken to the
asylum, either at Stockton or Napa. She
thinks every one who approaches or SPEAK
to her wants to poison her.
